Nvidia Shield Controller is not detected by Steam

[Mogu]

I can see this problem is like cancer. only sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't...

can anyone offer a proper solution?

Do you mean the controller is not detected by the Shield device when using the steam Streaming app? I understand it needs to be wired in with GeForce Experience installed to work with any device other than the Shield.

I use the shield controller (2017 version) with a Shield TV (2015 version) wirelessly. There was a recent firmware update for controller and remote released by Nvidia.

No u do not need GFE for NVIDIA Controller to work; the NVIDIA GPU Driver Suite contains driver for those Controllers; they function just like Xbox Controller when using for Games on WinOS PC.

So heres the deal.. i run with dual monitors and found out that without a reason GFE is causing lag to my main monitor when gaming. even when only i watch youtube on second monitor for example.

so i got rid of GFE and then nvidia shield controller stopped appearing on Steam. so can someone tell me how/where can i get this controller software without needing to install the GFE.. this is so ♥♥♥♥♥♥ up i can't believe why GFE would lag the game

Thanks for the tip. I tried it myself. However, I can't find the controller on the device manager to update the driver but the NVidia controller shows up on windows settings devices connected.

Works as a generic controller on my steam link though without uploading any drivers.

Ok sounds good, yea when its on the Gaming PC, load up Steam > Big Picture Mode and check Controller Options, support for PS4/XBO types should be off and the controller should be seen properly (like a generic 360 controller) then test locally on that system in a game. If working fine then it should work the same on the Steam Link as well.

Bottom line for anyone asking; always connect and install Controllers to the host gaming PC first before using them on the Steam Link.

I had the such an issue - shield controller 2017 wasn't properly installed in Windows10 and doesn't work in any game (In devices it was in unspecified section with generic icon. That was while I had actual version of Geforce Experience (3.9.something).
But when I uninstalled this new GE and installed the old 2.11.4.0 version of GE, Shield Controller installed itself properly and now it works well.

You could have just changed the Driver yourself via Device Manager.
Which you'd have to do anyways if you had say, AMD GPU.
You don't need Geforce Experience installed to install Shield Controller.

btw i found the solution..

Press Windows key + R.
Enter "msconfig" in the entry field and hit enter.
Select the "Startup" tab and hit "Disable All" button.
Go to the "Services" tab, check the "Hide All Microsoft Services" checkbox and then hit the "Disable All" button.
find services start with "NVIDIA" and only enable following 2:
1. NVIDIA LocalSystem Container
2. NVIDIA Telemetry Container
Those 2 will detect the controller.
Click the "OK" button and close the utility, and restart your computer when prompted to.
